Austin Soundwaves is an inspiring non-profit organization dedicated to empowering student musicians across the greater Austin, Texas area. As Austin Soundwaves continues to grow, so does their need for a permanent, dedicated facility to accommodate their expanding programs and team. A new facility would not only centralize their operations but also allow them to enhance their offerings, reach a broader audience, and provide a home for creativity and collaboration. To bring this vision to life, Austin Soundwaves is launching a $1 million campaign to fund this critical step in their journey of transforming lives through music. Forward Fundraisers worked with them on: 1) Campaign Case Statement 2) Identifying Top Prospects 3) Creating a Giving Society 2) 1:1 Major Gift Coaching Sessions 3) Major Gift Toolkit
